Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order
You can also lim
it the High measurement (normally taken over the entire
waveform record) to a gated region on the waveform.
HITs (histogr
am hits) measures the number of points in or on the histogram box.
LOW measures the Low reference (0% level, sometimes called Baseline) of
a waveform.
MAXimum finds the maximum amplitude. This value is the most positive peak
voltage fou
nd. It is measured over the entire waveform or gated region. When
histogram is selected with the MEASUrement:METHod command, the maximum
measurement measures the voltage of the highest nonzero bin in vertical
histograms or the time of the right-most bin in horizontal histograms.
MEAN amplitude measurement finds the arithmetic mean over the entire waveform
or gated region. When histogram is selected with the MEASUrement:METHod
command, the mean measurement measures the average of all acquired points
within or on the histogram.
MEDian (histogram measurement) measures the middle point of the histogram
box. Half of all acquired points within or on the histogram box are less than this
value
and half are greater than this value.
MINImum finds the minimum amplitude. This value is typically the most negative
peak v
oltage. It is measured over the entire waveform or gated region. When
histogram is selected with the MEASUrement:METHod command, the minimum
measurement measures the lowest nonzero bin in vertical histograms or the time
of the left-most nonzero bin in the horizontal histograms.
NCROss (timing measurement) measures the time from the trigger point to the first
falling edge of the waveform or gated region. The distance (time) is measured at
the middle reference amplitude point o f the signal.
NDUty (negative duty cycle) is the ratio of the negative pulse width to the signal
period, express ed as a percentage. The duty cycle is measured on the first cycle in
the waveform or gated region.
Negative Duty Cycle = (Negative Width) / Period × 100%
NOVershoot (negative overshoot) finds the negative overshoot value over the
entire waveform or gated region.
Negative Overshoot = (Low - Minimum) / Amplitude × 100%)
NWIdth (negative width) measurement is the distance (time) between the middle
reference (default = 50%) amplitude points of a negative pulse. The measurement
is made on the first pulse in the waveform or gated region.
PBASe measures the base value used in extinction ratio measurements.
PCROss (timing measurement) measures the time from the trigger point to the first
positive edge of the waveform or gated region. The distance (time) is measured at
the middle reference amplitude point o f the signal.
